McDonald's Industry connection...
I was thumbing through the City of Industry's newsletter the other day and among
stuff I didn't know - and there's plenty of that, by the way - I found this blurb:
"The city of Industry ... is a full-service distribution center for over 1,000 McDonald's, providing them everything from cash register receipt paper to beef patties. The goods are shipped all over Southern California and ot over 25 countries in the Pacific Rim...."
Oh, but there's more....You'll be glad to know that from Industry's 270,000 square-foot facility:
*1.6 million pounds of French fries are shipped weekly.
*276,000 pounds of cheese is shipped weekly.
*900,000 pounds of beef is shopped weekly...and
*Drivers dsrive 100,000 milies on deliveries per week.
It's good to know that as the financial world stuggles all around us, McDonald's will survive - and in fact, based on its quarterly results - is benefitting from people's move toward less costly food.
Much of that success stems from a warehouse in the San Gabriel Valley. So, at least there will be jobs there.

Yes they are doing well. I have not been to Mcdonald's lately but I here they are always busy. I know someone who is working there and he is always saying how busy it gets. The big mac sale was great!
